Bulgarian school children collected school supplies, backpacks, hygiene materials and cash donations to support their peers in Ukraine.

80 schools in Stara Zagora, 77 in Pazardzhik, 72 in Sofia and 70 in Burgas took part in the campaign. 

Most donations were collected in the central town of Stara Zagora. In addition to individual contributions, the students also raised funds through charity bazaars. 

By tomorrow the donations should be handed over to the regional structures of the Bulgarian Red Cross, after which they will be transported to Ukraine.
